The Queen and Meghan Markle's best moments in pictures

There was nothing disrespectful about HRH The Duchess of Sussex's seating position last night

“Royal women do not often cross their legs, although HRH The Duchess of Cornwall sometimes does; this tip is to ensure nothing gets flashed that shouldn't be!”

This is not the first time Meghan has been accused by royalists of breaking protocol.

At Ascot the new royal was criticised for turning her back on the Queen at one point during the event.

Meghan also appeared to panic as she forgot protocol during a visit to Cheshire with the Queen earlier this month.

Footage from the day shows a clearly overwhelmed Meghan as she looks around for a royal aide about whether to get into the car before or after the Queen.

After receiving no response from the aide Meghan resorted to asking her grandmother-in-law "what's your preference?" before she is ushered to climb into the car first.

However, Meghan quickly brushed herself off from the blunder and was later seen with the Queen, who was in stitches over something she had said, as they watched a performance by children from the Andrew Curphey Theatre Company.
